Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (new reading .TXT) 📖

Alex's POV

I was still a little bit frustrated but somehow I end up getting busy in some boring files waiting for my review or signs. Work was going perfectly fine and boring. So, I called one old friend. "Hey, fat ass, how are you? We are having lunch together today. " I said without waiting for his reply.
"If you haven't noticed yet. I got a job to keep." Jimmy replied.
"Stop, whining like a kid. I am coming to get you." I told him.
"Nah! I do have a car. But you can pick me if you promise me to drop afterward." He replied.

After 1 hour, I was sitting in a private room in one of my hotels and having lunch with my old friend.
"How's life?" Jimmy asked.
"Hell boring. Can't you see I called you to have lunch with me." I replied calmly.
"You are such an ungrateful friend. aren't you? And what's so boring about your life? You have everything." Jimmy asked while eating like a horse. Sometimes I forgot how much he really likes to eat.
"Nothing new to do," I replied while sipping on my champagne.
"Alex, why do you always have to look for something new? Can't you find interest in usual stuff." He stopped eating.
"Usual stuff is not for me," I replied with a smirk.
"Settle down." He suggested.
This time I laughed loudly. Jimmy was 30 too. Happily married and proud father of two beautiful girls. It was not the first time that he suggested something like this.
"You know how easily I get bored? I might marry someone just to divorce her the next morning." I replied jokingly.
"Believe me, the wife is the most beautiful creation of the world. I can't imagine my life without my Honeybun. What about Alicia?" He inquired.
"Why do you ship us so much?" I asked already getting bored with this discussion.
"Because she is the only one who stayed. Taking into account the way you use women and tossed them. She is the only one who chooses to ignore all your arrogant ways and bad manners. And ignoring such behavior requires a woman of strong will. Because no one can change you. In fact, no one can change anyone. We can just accept people. And when I look at her I think she accepts you." He stated as a matter of fact.
"Excuse me. Watch your mouth. I am the most gentle person women ever come across. And she not only accepts me but also my credit cards and expensive gifts." I replied with a proud face.
"Go and fool someone else. I know you Alex. And I know your ways." He looked at me like he was looking into my soul. And this is one of the many reasons that I don't see him often. But then again it also feels good to have someone who can see through you. "BTW thank you for the food. Now my break is almost over. I need to head back. My patients are waiting." He added.
"Why don't you leave this job and start doing your own business?" I asked for the thousandth time. Just in case he will change his mind.
"No, I love my job" was all his reply.
It was when my phone starts ringing. It was Simon's. "I need to get this. You go get into the car." I tell him.
"Take your time." He replied with a smile.
"Hello? " I said picking up the phone.
"Sir, I have an update on Miss Monroe." He said. I was not frustrated anymore. So, this time her mention bought a smile on my face. And with this, I knew that I had already forgiven her for her rude behavior in the morning. I am at the point where my whole being was aching for her submit. With her submit I will get this satisfaction of me being the most powerful. To whom no one can say no ever.
"What about her?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Miss Monroe, checked into Westin. She also has some appointments with some state agencies tomorrow." He informed.
"Where is she right now?" I asked with a stern expression.
"Room no. 1306." he replied.
"Make sure that you know her whereabouts until I reach there." I ordered and cut the call.
I walk out to find Jimmy with his brows furrowed. I know my face is giving away all the anger and frustration. I never had to hide any emotion in front of this guy anyway. So, I don't really care.
"Oh! no, I am not gonna risk my life to ride the car with you while you look like this. My hospital is just two blocks away. I will walk and I suggest you not to driv.." I cut him off by saying. "Get into the fu*king car."
He shook his head in disbelief and jumped into the car.
I dropped him to his job and head to my hotel.
I was a few blocks away from the hotel when I saw her getting into the church.
I parked the car in front of the church and followed her. There were a lot of people and it was the last place where I wanted to make some scene.
I got a call. I looked at the I.D and it was from Antonio, an old business partner.
"Yea, I am busy and will get back to you," I said picking up the call and cut it.
It was when I bumped into someone. It was a guy in his 20's.
"Sorry Man."He said.
"It's OK" I replied.
I was about to leave the church when I heard some gasps. I turned around to find that guy on his one knee and proposing to some girl in her early 20's.
The girl said yes and everyone cheered the couple.
I don't know why but I wanted to see her face. I wanted to see her expression but I couldn't as everyone was standing at their places and clapping for the couple. I become anxious for a moment. But then I found her making her way in the crowd and heading towards the exit. I followed her and when I was certain that she was heading towards the hotel. I took my car.
I know I shouldn't feel like this but I felt cheated on. I gave her time to make up her mind not to run away from me. How can she think of something like this in this short time? I can say impressive but I don't want to admit it.
I get into her room, choose not to switch on the lights and decided to wait for her. After 20 long minutes, she finally came. It was not so much dark in the room but still, she didn't notice me.
Is she for real? Given the incident this morning, she should be a little bit more careful. She can easily just look around and found me all sprawled on the couch. But no, she chooses to take off her heels and close the curtains making the room even darker. I was about to make the noise when she starts unzipping her dress. And her oblivion while undressing was turning me on even more. Though I was not able to see her body, but just knowing the fact she is undressing in my presence was overwhelming.
She gets into the bed and I tiptoed to her. She is not ready for me and I never forced anyone before. I have tried Bdsm and played thousands of role play but all of those had the consent of the other party. But this women is pushing me to the edge. I wanted her to submit on her own but now I am running out of patience. I will break her if I proceed any further now.
I was focusing to reduce the anger when she noticed my presence and dropped the side lamp in an attempt to switch it on.
"Nice plan though," I said. But then she starts dialing some number on the phone. I harshly caught her both hands in my left hand and pinned her to the bed with my whole body weight.
I was so mad that I don't care if she is getting hurt with my harsh grip right now.
